LUNAR WALK A HUGE SUCCESS - THANK YOU! |
THANK YOU PRESS RELEASE - LUNAR WALK 2010 A HUGE SUCCESS!!
What a fantastic night we had on Friday 2nd, THANK YOU GIBRALTAR!! About 1,000 of you took part in the Lunar Walk and helped in one way or another - well done everyone for all your effort! As with every year, we are always humbled by all of you who participated, you really wanted to be there with us and there was a fantastic emotional atmosphere of support and kindness.
Your outfits, home-made t-shirts and bras were absolutely fabulous; especially GibAir for creating and selling your t-shirts for us, the 1st/4th Scouts for their pink polo shirts (thank you for your £100 donation from Calentita night as well), Bayside staff t-shirts were fabulous and bright, the Lady Williams Centre staff outfits were so creative and Lorraine England from the PRMC was a walking ‘breast cancer awareness stand’ and certainly won the prize for originality!
Many of you have made the Lunar Walk possible this year, and we'd like to thank you:
On the run up to the Lunar Walk: Rob Parker for sorting out our website; Eastgate for collecting and storing our glow-sticks; the Chronicle for the 100 daily adverts of the Lunar Walk; Pete Baldachino for the fabulous artwork of the poster; the local magazines for the free advertising and the press for the promotion and articles; BFBS and GBC for their excellent promotion of the event.
For making it work at Casemates: LPS for allowing us to use Casemates; Cafe Solo for the tables and chairs; Guy Povedano and Saccone & Speed for the bottles of water. And especially to those who volunteered and helped us on the night to set-up/pack up, register participants, sell glow-sticks, hand out water, organise media, we love you all: Pat, Sangeeta, Claire, Jamie, Simon, Katherine, Isabel, Elaine, Gloria, Sonia, Pepe, Jimmy, Walu, Vincent, Nathan, Karen, Michelle, Denise and Janine.
A very special thank you to our beautiful Miss Gibraltar, Larissa Dali, who is also beautiful in heart and spirit, we were touched by her kindness; she straight away got down to work without prompting and helped us throughout the night. We must mention the heartfelt acts of support which were so unexpected; spontaneous, anonymous donations, especially Mr Lima who, while working, drove up to us in his small street cleaner and donated money in remembrance of his mother with no expectation of a thank you. It is acts like these that make our work worthwhile.
Finally, thank you to Edwin Reyes and Fabian Vinent (and wives) for supporting our Walk, the first Members of Parliament to attend one of our Lunar Walks, thank you Haresh and Anju Budrani for always attending, and a big appreciative thanks to Mayor Olga Zammit for coming out especially, so late and feeling ill, in order to launch us on our way.
On the Walk itself: For the marshalling, thank you the Round Table and Ivan & his Air Cadets for showing walkers the way. Thanks to the MOD and Station Commander Simon Dowling for supporting the event, without which the Lunar Walk would have not happened; RAF Gibraltar and Trevor & NATS ATC for letting us use the Airfield; the Defence Fire Service, JPSU and the GDP for letting us on the runway and keeping an eye on us. Thank you to the Royal Gibraltar Police for their patience and traffic control (despite the road works) and St John's Ambulance for leading us and looking after us.
At Ocean Village (OV): The OV committee for allowing us to use The Island; Brian & the OV team, Chris & the Triathlon team for sorting out the Finish Arch; to Andy Hunter, his team and O’Reilly’s for setting up a burgers stand and the outside bar; Orlando and Savannah’s for their enclosed area for walkers and free tapas for the hungry walkers!
Thank you again Gibraltar, we are constantly impressed by your support, love and encouragement.
Big hugs and kisses xxxxxx

White Sensation
On Friday 25th June 2010 local events organiser Daniel Guerrero teamed up with Boyd’s Nightclub at the Kings Bastion Leisure Centre to organise a White Party in aid of Breast Cancer Support Gibraltar. A total of £600 was raised for this charitable organisation.
The event also included a Terrace BBQ as well as a disco including the performance of local DJ’s and an internationally well-known saxophonist and percussion player.
Many Gibraltarians travel to Amsterdam and other European countries during the summer season to attend the WHITE SENSATION parties. Since this type of event has become very popular and always very well supported in our community, we thought it would be a good idea to simulate this event locally. As some white parties have been held in aid of Cancer, we decided to follow suit.
The event was held just a week before the LUNAR WALK, organised by Breast Cancer Support Gibraltar, so we decided to associate the event with this charity in order to raise funds for this important charity which plays a significant role, especially amongst women, by raising awareness for this cause.
The event was very well attended and it was an enjoyable night too. All those who attended made the effort to dress in white. It was amazing to see such a good response from many young people united for such an important cause.
A big THANK YOU to all for supporting the event.
Daniel Guerrero
